Causes Of Painful Menstruation In Women And How To Prevent It

According to Healthline, 80% of women experience painful menstruation, also known as dysmenorrhea, which is a common condition.



 During the menstrual cycle, it is characterized by cramps, soreness, and other discomfort.

Primary and secondary dysmenorrhea are the two main forms. The most typical type of dysmenorrhea, primary dysmenorrhea, is not brought on by an underlying medical issue. Less often occurring secondary dysmenorrhea is brought on by an underlying medical problem such endometriosis, fibroids, or pelvic inflammatory disease.

Primary dysmenorrhea is assumed to be brought on by the release of prostaglandins, hormone-like chemicals that induce the uterus to contract but the specific etiology of this condition is yet unknown. Pain and inflammation may be brought on by these contractions.

Several factors, such as the following, can aid in the prevention or mitigation of painful menstruation, including:

using painkillers that are available over-the-counter, such as ibuprofen or naproxen.

using a hot water bottle or heating pad.

exercising on a regular basis.

consuming a balanced diet.

getting sufficient rest.

controlling stress.

Discussing alternative treatment options with your doctor, such as hormone therapy or birth control pills to rule out any underlying medical concerns, it's crucial to consult a doctor if you're having very painful menstrual cramps.
